Migration off defaults to conda-forge channel (facebookresearch#4126)

Summary:

Good resource on overriding channels to make sure we aren't using `defaults`:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67695893/how-do-i-completely-purge-and-disable-the-default-channel-in-anaconda-and-switch

Explanation of changes:
-
- changed to miniforge from miniconda: this ensures we only pull in from conda-defaults when creating the environment
- architecture change: ARM64 and aarch64 are the same thing. But there is no miniforge package for ARM64, so we need to make it check for aarch64 instead.
- mkl 2023.1 change: pulling in 2023.2 causes problems and all current builds pull in 2023.1. So it is specified as 2023.1. The meta.yaml changes are the ones that narrow it to 2023.1 during `conda build faiss`.
